INSPIRE: The Principal's Brand Marketing Guidebook
Learn how principals use brand marketing to lead and inspire school communities and meet their full potential.
If there was a clear and concise way to help principals understand the difference, value, importance, and impact of branding and marketing, INSPIRE, The Principal's Brand Marketing Guidebook, is it. It will help you rethink your purpose and how you can ethically market your school to help change the face of education.
If you're a principal looking for a fresh way to bring your vision to life in your school community, this book is for you. It breaks down the process of how to ethically communicate to a technologically savvy, media-saturated generation longing for identity, purpose, and belonging.
"I wrote this book as a tool for principals to understand the process of branding and marketing: what they are, and how they fit into your work life. I trust that by reading it, I can somehow help redeem what marketing is in your mind and help you use it for good."

we understand this is hard
But we've made the hard, easier.
In becoming an educator, we understand your training didn't help you think about branding and marketing. This work can be overwhelming, not knowing where to start, how much to spend, and how to even think about any of this with all that you have on your plate. We get that in the pursuit of doing the work, you may have even lost your "why."
It's why we believe you must understand the importance of brand marketing. Ethical brand marketing connects to you and why you're leading.
Your mindset about this work will affect your efforts exponentially, and it will either stunt or propel your ability to move your vision and mission forward.
Successful brands know they can't do it alone. And if you're looking to be successful, you have to be on a mission to connect with the right people that understand this work, have an effective process, and want to see you succeed.
Start a conversation, and we'll help you figure out where to begin. It's a free no-obligation discovery call to see if this is right for you and if you're right for us.
